Brittany Harris was arrested Nov. 27 by the Grand Traverse County Sheriff's Office in Michigan. Harris, 24, was charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child.

The incident occurred May 28 about 8:40 a.m. at 3215 Baird Ave., No. N99. Harris left Xzayla Harris, who was 2 months old, with a babysitter at her friend's home before leaving for Lollipops, a strip club in Hudson, on May 27.

Police reported that Harris was drinking Captain Morgan rum on the way to the club. When she returned to the home, Harris continued to drink alcohol and went to bed with Xzayla, police reported.

Later, Harris' friend, Erica Nieves, entered the room and saw the right leg of Harris on top of Xzayla's head. The baby was wrapped tightly in a blanket.

Nieves pulled a lifeless Xzayla away from her mother and called 911. An operator tried to guide her through CPR before medical officials arrived.

Xzayla died at Lakeland Regional Medical Center at 9:30 a.m.

Harris never tried to help her daughter, police reported.

"When life saving measures were being performed on Xzayla, Brittany Harris continued to lie in the bed and was oblivious to what was happening," Police Detective Justin Conatser wrote in a report.

Harris told police she was drunk and blacked out when she arrived home from the club, police reported.

A toxicology report shows that alcohol, methamphetamine and cocaine was in her system.

When Conatser received the toxicology report, he sent the information to the State Attorney's Office, Lakeland Police spokesman Gary Gross said.

Conatser had spoken with Harris several times since her daughter's death. He was aware that Harris had left for Michigan to be closer to relatives. Once the State Attorney's Office filed charges, Conatser called the sheriff's office in Michigan to tell them to arrest her at a local homeless shelter.

Harris is expected to be extradited in the coming days.
